Analyses the role of the state in a globalising wired society, controversially arguing that a wired society will not mean the end of the nation state as we know it. Addresses issues of real contemporary concern such as Internet censorship.
First published in 2000. Virtual States challenge the idea that the nation state is dead. In all the hype about the Internet, little thought has been given to the systematic inequalities being brought about by globalisation, and exacerbated by the global spread of the Internet. Jerry Everard argues that new disparities are emerging between the information ''haves'' ad the information ''have-nots'': between wealthy and poor states; and between the wealthy and poor in wealthy states. Virtual States systematically addresses these inequalities.
